What synths are you using for the leads as they sound classy indeed?
Thanks. It is a free synth called synth1 and it is the default preset with some tweaks on the settings probably. I also put a ton of replika delay with the diffusion setting on it (and some background elements) so the breakdown is just a wall of sound. I actually have used it for several songs (with less delay) over the past few years. Something about it, I like using it for that last melody I want to put over top of everything.

The sub in the breakdown is a preset from Freshly Squeezed for Toxic Biohazard vst called bass - breakdown. The kind of deep house sub in the intro/outro and a few other parts is a deep tom from Nexus2.

I assume you are sending your stuff to labels. If so most of them have to be simply not listening because I think these should be getting signed easy. I don't know how an A&R could look through your stuff and not see an artist with major potential.

Thanks, guys. I haven't sent it to many. I've kind of got this whole go big, or go home mentality in my head. One of the labels that actually replied to me told me that they aren't club tracks so... idk. I need to not get disheartened immediately. And maybe lower my standards I guess.

I think you should. Get some (more) signings on some mid-level labels that have a good recent track record on 1001 tracklists. Lots of recent plays on the big shows. That seems like the most common route to the big labels, at least from what I have seen. One I recommend is Flashover, they listen to everything (and quick), are partial to electro and are on the promo list of almost everybody.

ThnX, yes this is live, so different patterns on and off and tweak as you go.
That verb is a good one, will experiment what that.
I do like that raw edge very much myself, I'm really no longer interested, or have the patience for micro editted track. There are plenty of those already.
Very few elements, much texture and spontanious evolvement.
The saws are the P12
You hear a P12, Pro2, miami, phatty and TR8, the fx is the MS20.

Nice raphie, its raw but that adds to it, i think u do these live?
Only thing its missing is a nice big room style reverb on that bass stab, just to make it sound larger than life......imho
Detuned saws are beautiful, whats making them?

ah the Prophet 12...fantastic, too much moolah for mise tho!
I like this one from Caleb. The lead sound is actualy very similiar to one of my fav proghouse tunes lead from Envotion (on the right video, starts around 2:00). I also like Raphies dubtechno, very athmosperic and chilled.
These are my new jams . Still learning, hope you like it a bit at least.

Nice atmosphere and sounds. Just my opinion but there is just a bit too much aliasing in all the sounds / reverb, maybe lower the distortion just a bit. Also make some of the sounds that come in quickly a bit more pronounced as well.
